Tony Adam shows you how to find the referring URLs from StumbleUpon to your site.
Also check out his article on Building Communities. Very good tips in that one.

Excellent! Thanx Jack..I’m going to check that out.
By the way, what is this plug-in your using for asking “What’s Your Twitter ID?” about. Where can I find out more about that? That looks useful, and possibly like something I should be using. Any info?
Thanx Jack

Davin – It’s called “Tweet This” so people can enter their Twitter links direct to their Twitter profiles. Pretty cool!
Great… Thanx Jack..
And yeah, it is pretty cool!

Thanks Jack,
I wondered how to track the other people that are bookmarking, Thank you for the insight.

I don’t see how this lets you find the url for stumble upon. I have thousands of unique pages. When I get somewhat large influxes of visitors from stumble upon, I don’t see how the blog post you link to shows me which url was the source of stumble traffic this time.
I do realize I can see if a page has a big amount of stumble comments by going to the page, such as http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/engineering.curiouscatblog.net/2007/06/03/awesome-cat-cam/
But unless I get a huge amount of traffic for a specific page and then see that page spike in traffic the same as a stumble spike I can’t really tell which page is creating the traffic this time. I frequently have stumble pages create spikes over and over, even separated by months. So I don’t see how this instructions let me see if I got 2,000 stumble links yesterday that 800 went to w page, 200 to x page, 200 to y page, 180 to y page… Or what url on stumble actually sent the traffic.
Am I missing something?

John – I believe his instructions pick up where you’ve already found that spike and want to track down the referrer – the person who started the ball rolling by voting for that page and starting their followers looking at it and also giving it a thumbs up, sending even more SU traffic. You have to know where the initial bump in traffic came from in your stats before you’d track down the referrer.
